"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

MK7 – Reading tips

As you might have seen on social media, for our seventh edition of the MasterKeen for BIM specialists we have an extraordinary enrollment, this semester: 45 students. This is clearly not going to stop my brave ringmaster, Simone Pozzoli, who’s leading the course program. For my module teaching BIM I have lots of new things cooking (of course we’ll face the ISO 19650 with a brave smile on our faces), and of course you know that I can’t share all of what I’m doing in that course, but I can share something. As I did for MK6 and MK5, I am giving students a little assignment focusing on a title of their choice. They can:

  • read a book;
  • watch a movie;
  • watch a tv series;
  • play a videogame;
  • listen to a concept album.

Yeah. I’ve added music.

Their choice will result in three customized lessons, specifically tailored, on tangent topics of digitization, technology and innovation.

Eager to know what they’l choose, meanwhile I share with you the selection of titles. Enjoy!

The Thursday Murder Club

I wanted to read this series after seeing the delightful movie on Netflix, which would have been worth it if only for the stellar cast. After I started, I couldn’t possibly stop. I think I read the whole thing in a month. Here’s what I

Summertime (though the living ain’t easy)

There is a particular kind of August laziness that likes to dress itself up as a fashionable pose: you can’t undertake significant projects in August, you’re not supposed to, apparently, you aren’t even supposed to read anything that’s too complicated (though I wonder, if you
